Unbolt Body Jack It Up Put In Blocks New Bolts Re Torque.
3'' Performance Accessories Body Lift?
Along with the exhaust changes, I'm considering a 3" body lift, I know there are instructions with the kit, and that most have shops put them on, but perhaps some on here can give me a play by play read up on how to self install it, if not, just tell me im wasting my time and i wont bother, but i saw a guy with a stepside setup with my suspension lift and a body lift, wow...

Thats about it.Unbolt Body Jack It Up Put In Blocks New Bolts Re Torque.
so is it definantly worth it to do it yourself, seeing as how i've been quoted for 550-650 for installation of a 250 dollar kit?

if you have a spec of mechanical know how you should be able to figure it out. One of the easiest things ive done to my truck
Damnit. I want to do a body lift to my truck. But I am quite "anti-body lift" if you will.

You are right Daniel. A body lift on my truck would be :supergay::supergay:
:crazy:
I just put the summit kit on my truck and the bumber bracket modification sucks ass. make sure you take you time and read instructions.
haha will do
Most people gawk at the $500-$600 that shops get for labor. Install one for the first time yourself and you will see why. I know there are those on here that will tell you they can install it themselves in 1 hour, but I would tell you to allocate 8-10 hours on your first one. Helps if you have air tools as well.

I was the same way but i think mine turned out pretty good. As long as you do a good job with the bumpers and gap guards its not so bad.:imo
And yes, very worth while to do it yourself. Im helping a buddy do his 98 stepside this weekend.
i'm gonna need help for sure, ican already tell =(
Nah, one floor jack and 5-6 hours for your first one IMO
i'm gonna need help for sure, ican already tell =(
Any members close by this dude should volunteer to help out... maybe for a free meal and some beer :imo
will the 3" dwarf my 35s? since the 2wd 7" is really equivalent to maybe a 4.5-5.5 4x4 lift, i would think that 7+3 would still be ok with 315's, i dont wanna put on the kit and dwarf my tires, feedback? thanks so much in advance
I think it might. Judging by how they look now... is there any reason you want to throw a bl on besides just adding that extra 3" of height?will the 3" dwarf my 35s? since the 2wd 7" is really equivalent to maybe a 4.5-5.5 4x4 lift, i would think that 7+3 would still be ok with 315's, i dont wanna put on the kit and dwarf my tires, feedback? thanks so much in advance
heh to be honest, i'd like to design a custom skid plate, and paint the suspension lift like auburn on fullsizechevy.com, other than that, i just think the 7+3 looks great, although I don't really want to get another set of tires, I'm happy with my current stance and setup, it's just not very...showy, ya know?
i think it will look good. i say go for it and put on some 36 or 37 down the road if you can. and if i was anywhere near you i would offer to help out...sorry dude.
